Texts
In the texts
Works this figure appears in. A work’s date is the source’s, not this figure’s.
Later works
Later works that name Satan
Written in 1500 CE or later, and not religious texts: works that retell or borrow the figure, not sources for the life.
What this means
Sorted out of the texts by each work’s own recorded date on the source clock, and by its record not marking it as a religious text: the split is worked out here, not stated by any source. A religious text of any date stays among the texts.
Connections
How Satan connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
Identification 19
What this means
One figure treated as another in some context. Not literal identity in all contexts, and usually a claim by a third party.
Does not imply literal identity in all contexts · that either tradition made the identification
